23rd June: Leroy Logan on

'Closing Ranks'

Leroy Logan is a former superintendent in the Metropolitan Police and a founding member of the Black Police Association Charitable Trust.

In Closing Ranks, Leroy describes his 30 eventful years policing around London. This revealing book is a vital lesson in race relations for modern-day Britain, a manifesto for anyone with a desire to mentor young people, and was the inspiration for Steve McQueen’s recent highly-acclaimed film Red, White and Blue.

Born in 1957 to Jamaican parents, Leroy is a proud Londoner, a staunch Gooner, an advocate for good relationships between the police and Britain’s minority ethnic communities, a mentor to young people, and an advisor on knife crime.

All lectures start at 7pm followed by a live Q&A. Approximate finish time is 8.30pm.

Proceeds are in aid of St Mary’s church - a vital base for outreach services to vulnerable local people, including the elderly, the homeless and young people at risk.

Primrose Hill books will be selling books at the venue after each talk and authors will be signing copies.

For those watching online, there is a Summer Lectures book list on the bookshop's website. Please visit  www.primrosehillbooks.com to order directly and also if you would like books posted to you.
